Swords represent spades. Wands represent clubs. The only other difference is that playing cards use a jack; tarot cards use pages and knights. The joker card came from "The Fool" card--the only major arcana card to make its way into everyday playing card decks. Do you know which ace card represents your element energy best? Enjoy!
